The property was nice and the cabin was a good size. I liked that it had a full sized oven. Shower was a bit temperamental though. One thing that was a let down was the lack of good customer service by the reception staff. It put a bit of a sour note on my stay.
pool area would be good for the summer months

A grubby shoebox.

Cramped bedrooms. Very limited space for luggage and clothes. Dust and grime on shelves and around carpet near walls. Floor unwashed. Rusty shower rail mould in bathroom. Conditioner unit old and very loud. The place was tired.

It was wonderful staying at the property. Their amenities were excellent...only suggestion is to include drinking water in the cabins and increase the food options within the property. We had to go to main market down the street to get the food, however, overall it was wonderful staying there.

We booked a standard cabin. It was very old cabin and the flooring, sofa and kitchen are very old and not clean. Toilet was blocked in the second day and we moved to another cabin. Wifi has no connectivity in our room. It was terrible experience and will never go back to this place.
